A Clear Way to Sort Keys
Green covers give tubular keys a quick visual marker. This can help when you carry several similar keys. A simple color system is useful when keys look alike and labels are hard to read.

- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.
Made for Tubular Keys
These large covers are listed for tubular keys. They are not complete keys or locks. Compare the shape and size of your current key head before ordering. A cover should fit the key you plan to mark.
- Keep similar keys in a clearly defined group.
- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.
Two Covers in Each Pair
The listing includes two green covers. Use both for keys in the same group, or place them on two separate keys that serve the same purpose. A pair is a handy starting point for a small color system.
- Keep similar keys in a clearly defined group.
- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.
Bright Green Identification
Green is easy to tell apart from many plain metal key heads. It can also be used alongside other cover colors. Pick one meaning for green and use it in the same way across your keys.
- Keep similar keys in a clearly defined group.
- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.
Helpful for Vending Routes

- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.

- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.

- Keep similar keys in a clearly defined group.
- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.

- Check the key itself before opening a lock.
- Use the cover for visual sorting, not for lock security.

Key organization note 89: When you set up a green key group, keep its meaning steady. A clear system is easier to use than a long list of exceptions. Store each key in its assigned secure place after use.
Key organization note 90: A cover can make a key easier to spot, but it cannot tell you which lock it opens. Confirm the key code before a visit. Keep any sensitive location details in a private record.
Key organization note 91: If two people share responsibility for keys, agree on what green means. Simple rules can make handoffs more orderly. Check the key count whenever responsibility changes.
Key organization note 92: For a larger key set, count how many covers you need before ordering. This product comes in pairs. Plan the number of pairs around your actual tubular keys.
Key organization note 93: Inspect a cover now and then. If it is loose or damaged, do not rely on it as an identifier. Check the key head before fitting a replacement cover.
Key organization note 94: Keep green as one visual clue among your normal key controls. Secure storage, clear records, and correct lock matching still matter. A cover does not replace those steps.
Key organization note 95: Color coding works best when it stays simple. Choose a small number of groups and explain them to anyone who uses the keys. Review the plan when your route changes.
Key organization note 96: Before adding a green cover, compare the key head with the product photo. The listing identifies this as a large tubular key cover. Exact fit should not be assumed for every key.
Key organization note 97: When you set up a green key group, keep its meaning steady. A clear system is easier to use than a long list of exceptions. Store each key in its assigned secure place after use.
Key organization note 98: A cover can make a key easier to spot, but it cannot tell you which lock it opens. Confirm the key code before a visit. Keep any sensitive location details in a private record.
Key organization note 99: If two people share responsibility for keys, agree on what green means. Simple rules can make handoffs more orderly. Check the key count whenever responsibility changes.
Key organization note 100: For a larger key set, count how many covers you need before ordering. This product comes in pairs. Plan the number of pairs around your actual tubular keys.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
